    I've made a nintendo 3ds overlay and was having difficulty scaling the 2 screens to fit it. I remember being able to set the distance between the two screens but don't remember how I did it. Driving me insane! I've downloaded the mega bezel pack as one of the shaders is meant to allow you to set distances but couldn't get it to work. Any help would be really appreciated

      As I understand it at the moment, the Citra 3DS core is available via the Windows PC version of RetroArch (not the steam version), It's been removed from recent versions in Android, and is not available for MacOS version yet.
